Liked: Staff & service
Concierge was very helpful and friendly. Room was very small and bathroom was dirty. Convient location. Close to airport.
Beautiful room with 2 balconies and a large jacuzzi! Central location. Very helpful staff. I really appreciate the on-site parking. The elevator didn’t work
Very spacious suite in an EXCELLENT location. Comfortable beds and well air conditioned, which we appreciated. I really appreciated the communication in advance of our stay and the hotel making sure we were able to leave the property early in the morning. Check in process was easy and staff was very accommodating. Room was very clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend for families traveling to Catania.

The location was very central to the main areas of Catania. Access to the accommodation was via an old lift or four flights of stairs. The size of the room was huge, as was the spa bath, which was also very relaxing. The staff were very helpful and responsive. An air conditioning issue we encountered on a Sunday was fixed immediately. I would recommend this accommodation.
Fantastic location in the heart of Catania with free on site parking which is definitely a plus! Very large two bedroom apartment very spacious old style and very authentic Italian.
We loved our stay here, beautifully presented room bice and spacious. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Our room had a spa. It is centrally located close to the fish market walking distance to everything.
We will definitely be back when we return to Catinia!

Great room in a real palazzo
Great room, with wonderful ceilings and a separate sitting room. The location is perfect for sightseeing and convenient for the airport. Reception is not open after 2000 but a staff member is available to let you in. Would definitely recommend.
We had a lovely time. Staff was very helpful.
Conveniently located, very walkable area, for shopping, sights and dining.
The only negative was, the bed frame extended beyond the mattress and was a constant problem as we kept smashing our knees into it.
Sra. Lopez was incredibly helpful scheduling my transportation to the airport for the wee hours of the morning. The space was comfortable and close to our favorite street food, markets and cafes in Catania. Highly recommend!
We liked everything about our stay here. The location as there are lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. Transportation is steps away. The staff are friendly. Room was very clean. Price was reasonable. It was our 2nd time staying here within 6 weeks, when we come back to Catania we will stay here again.
The staff at the Palazzo Bruca were incredible! They were very accommodating for an earlier check in and to assist with securing me transport for a very early morning flight to Rome. The room was clean and comfortable. Access in felt safe after hours. The location was perfect in the town centre with easy access to all the historical sights and tour companies. Highly recommend!
It was a great property and surprisingly offered private parking in the middle of the busy city! (There isn’t real clear signage on the street, be aware you have to look for a big black metal gate to enter the property.) We were able to walk everywhere and the piazza and sights were SO close. We had a big jacuzzi tub, beautifully painted high ceilings, and the bed was comfortable. We definitely recommend, especially if you’re coming off a long flight into the Catania airport.
We stayed for 2 nights because of the airport.
The hotel is in the center of Catania, it is clean good value for the money Did not have breakfast many restaurants and shopping around the hotel. the center is dirty and full of graffiti, we did get an upgrade to the second floor because they could not find our reservation (much bigger room) . This is more like and bed and breakfast.
The staff was very helpful and lovely, the room was clean and comfortable. The location was great, close to the Duomo area and lots of cafes. The only suggestion I have is for some towel bars or hooks. There were zero options to hang a damp towel, no bars, hooks, or racks. We hung them like a cape on a hanger in the armoire which wasn't ideal, but the only option.
